Open-Access Labs
All students, faculty, and staff are welcome to use open-access lab resources during lab operation hours. Classes are not scheduled in these labs, making them a great place to get work done.
New for Fall 2020:
Users will be asked to make a reservation to use computers in the open-access labs so that we can maintain social distancing and keep devices clean in between use. Staff will be available on-site to assist you with booking a computer, or you may do so in advance through the new patron portal.

Kiosks
For your convenience, computer kiosks for quick Internet access and printing can be found at various locations around campus. Kiosks are available during all hours of building operation. However, during busy periods, users are asked to restrict their kiosk use to five minutes.
For Fall 2020:
- To maintain sanitation and eliminate disease vectors, we will be limiting the number of public printing kiosks available for general use.
- Students will be able to send print jobs to public printers from their personal devices.
- Here is an updated map of public printing locations on campus for the Fall 2020 semester.
